Can rubbing alcohol kill shingles?

Rubbing alcohol can help clean and disinfect the skin, but it does not kill the varicella-zoster virus that causes shingles. While it may relieve some discomfort by drying out blisters, it is not a treatment for the infection itself. Antiviral medications and proper medical care are recommended for effectively managing shingles. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options.

Shingles is caused by the chickenpox virus. You do not get shingles from someone with shingles; you get chickenpox from someone with shingles. Then when you get older, you will get shingles because you had chickenpox. Or, you might get older and never get chickenpox. In that case, you will thank your mother for having you vaccinated against chickenpox when you were a child.
